Honey Cake

It was too late for Song Shixia to pull Aunt Feng away. The robber, grabbing the woman's bag, rushed towards them.

The man had messy, greasy hair and a stubbled face, and looked ferocious and not to be messed with.

Song Shixia pushed Aunt Feng away and quickly stretched out a foot when the robber ran past her.

The robber probably didn't expect that someone would dare to trip him. He was caught off guard and was thrown forward by inertia and fell heavily to the ground. The bag he had stolen also flew out.

Song Shixia quickly took out a pepper spray from her bag as a precaution.

When the woman caught up and shouted "He has a weapon in his pocket", Song Shixia reacted quickly and sprayed gunshots into her eyes.

She had bought it before but never used it, so she didn't know how she would react to the bad guy spraying it with anti-wolf spray. But this guy was a robber and didn't deserve sympathy, so she just sprayed him hard.

The robber rolled on the ground, covering his eyes in pain, and a weapon with a black glow fell from his pocket to the ground.

Song Shixia was shocked that he was carrying such a dangerous weapon. She kicked the weapon away, leaving him no chance to fight back.

A passerby helped to pick it up, and the woman finally caught up and picked up her bag.

She cried so hard that her makeup was all smudged. She was on the verge of a breakdown, but she still thanked him: "Thank you, comrade. The bag contains a very important amount of money. I really appreciate it."

Some enthusiastic citizens ran to call the police early, and the police quickly came over. When they learned that someone was robbing in the street, they quickly handcuffed the robber lying on the ground.

Aunt Feng had no time to react when she was pushed away. By the time she reacted, Comrade Xiao Song had already faced the robber.

When she saw the weapons on the ground clearly, her legs almost went weak and she fell to her knees. Fortunately, she held onto a street lamp and avoided making a fool of herself in public.

Upon learning that Comrade Xiao Song was going to be taken to the police station for questioning, Aunt Feng hurriedly followed.

"Comrade police officer, we are both family members of professors at Yenching University, and we have to hurry back to school."

Song Shixia comforted her softly.

"Auntie, the police officer just came to ask me about what happened, and it will be over soon."

Aunt Feng was extremely panicked: "Can I go with them? I also saw that Qianshen rushing over at that time. If Xiao Song hadn't pushed me, I would have been knocked to the ground." She didn't dare to think about the consequences, what if the other party's weapon went off accidentally.

When the police heard that the two were professors' families, they couldn't help but respect Song Shixia, who bravely stood up for justice, and their favorable impression of him increased.

"Don't worry, comrade. We are only taking this lady to take a statement and will send a car to take you back."

She is worthy of being a professor from Yenching University. Look at her level of thinking. A little girl like her can fight off such a vicious robber.

The woman who was robbed was so frightened that she didn't notice the conversation between the people. She just kept crying while holding her bag.

The young man who helped pick up the gun looked at Song Shixia curiously. It was a pity that such a young girl was actually from a professor's family. She was already taken.

When she arrived at the police station, what happened was beyond her expectations. The robber turned out to have a criminal record and was a wanted criminal.

From the tone of their voice, Song Shixia felt that this man seemed to have done something extremely evil and a wanted warrant had been issued for his capture.

She was dazed as she was taken to register her personal information. It was said that she had a 2,000 yuan bounty, which would be delivered to her door once it was credited.

She stretched out a leg, and it was worth more than the Chinese national football team.

Song Shixia had never thought of such a strange way to make money, and the red scarf on her chest became even more colorful.

When it was time to gather, everyone waited a long time for Aunt Feng and Song Shixia. They had gone out to make time, so no one complained, but they were just curious about where Aunt Feng and Song Shixia had gone.

About 15 minutes later, a police car drove towards their truck.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering who had done something wrong?

Aunt Feng and Song Shixia got out of the car.

The police officer said goodbye to them warmly: "Thank you for your cooperation, comrades. Sorry for the trouble."

Aunt Feng waved her hands repeatedly: "No trouble, no trouble, you are the ones who have worked hard."

Song Shixia and Aunt Feng thanked the police and returned to the car.

Everyone looked at me with curiosity.

Aunt Feng exaggerated the experiences of the two people, focusing on the incident of Song Shixia's courageous act.

Everyone exclaimed.

"Is Xiao Song not injured?"

"Oh my God, how dare this damned bastard dare to be a robber? This evil must be shot to death."

"It is a disaster to keep such a person around. If he were still alive, who would dare to go out? He should be sentenced to death immediately."

Aunt Feng sighed, "You don't know how pitifully that woman cried. It seemed like she was collecting money for the school to deposit in the bank, and ended up being targeted by robbers."

After hearing the frightening story, someone sighed and said, "Thank you, Xiao Xia. You are so brave. How could you think of using your feet to trip that man?" If they encountered such a thing, they would definitely not have time to hide.

Song Shixia didn't look scared at all. She smiled at everyone and said, "I thought to myself, I can't hide away anyway. What if he runs towards us and wants to take me hostage?"

Everyone nodded, not quite understanding.

Song Shixia reminded them: "Don't learn from me. If you can't protect yourself, you must protect yourself first and then consider helping others." If she knew that the other party was carrying dangerous weapons, she would definitely not be so impulsive and reckless, but she would still choose to be brave and do the right thing, just in a different way.

Aunt Feng helped to add: "Everyone is right to listen to Comrade Xiao Song. Before she left, she filled a pepper spray bottle and sprayed it directly into the robber's eyes, causing him to fall to the ground in pain and drop his weapon. I was almost scared to death at the time."

Everyone asked Song Shixia why he thought of bringing pepper spray when going out.

Song Shixia sighed helplessly: "It's hard to guard against bad guys, we women have to protect ourselves when we go out. I brought two big group cards with me today and I was always worried that they would be stolen, so I soaked chili powder in chili water to comfort myself."

Everyone believed what she said. Comrade Xiao Song must have been nervous as it was the first time he went out with so much money after coming from the countryside.

Someone followed up and said, "You are so lucky. I will also keep some chili water for later use, so that I can have peace of mind if anything happens when I go out."

Everyone expressed their ideas and came up with some bad ideas, such as carrying a knife when going out, or putting two pins on clothes.

Song Shixia found that everyone had a strong sense of defense.

Seeing the school gate in the distance, she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten something.

Song Shixia said in frustration: "I forgot to buy cakes for the kids." After his heroic act, he went to the police station.

Aunt Feng consoled her, saying, "You bought a lot of things for them, so make it up to them next time."

Song Shixia shook his head: "You must keep your word. I have to set a good example for my children so that they can become honest and trustworthy people."

Before she could think of a solution, someone from the logistics department found her.

"Comrade Song, the washing machine and sewing machine you purchased have been delivered."

In order not to delay others, Song Shixia got on the delivery truck.

There was no conversation along the way. When we arrived at the door of the house, the driver and the young comrade helped to carry the washing machine and sewing machine into the house.

The washing machine is placed on the balcony on the first floor. The balcony is recessed into the room, so the direct sunlight is not very strong.

The sewing machine was placed in a room on the first floor with several boxes of books, and Song Shixia specially cleared out a spot near the window.

After paying off the debt, I can finally wash the dirty clothes at home.

Song Shixia put down her things and went next door to pick up the child.

The two children's bulging backpacks were half empty before they went out, but they looked very happy, so it seemed that no friction occurred.

"What did you play today?"

Ji Yuan boasted: "Thank you grandpa for playing the Pinyin word recognition game with us. The winning child can eat a piece of dried fruit. My brother and I won a lot of dried fruit!"

Song Shixia found it funny. The dried fruits were originally their private property, so why were they so happy after winning?

Seeing how happy they were, Song Shixia praised them one by one. Children really need friends to play with, so they can just share the dried fruits. There are plenty of them at home.

"I had an accident on the road today and didn't get a cake for you. Can you two children let me make amends?"

Ji Yuan was puzzled: "What does Jiang Gong being drunk mean?"

Ji Yang: "It means she wants to buy us off."

Ji Yuan hugged her without hesitation: "Don't blame mom, my brother and I didn't really want to eat cake."

Ji Yang curled his lips secretly. He didn't say that at Grandpa Xie's house.

Song Shixia bent down and touched his head.

"Since you didn't buy any cakes, can I make you a replacement?"

Ji Yuan jumped up happily, but then his small body stiffened and he didn't dare to look back. He had just said that he didn't want to eat the cake.

Song Shixia's reaction to him was not surprising. Even an ignorant child would care about his parents' promise.

She let the children play in the living room while she hid in the living room to look for a cake mold. Without other props, she could only use paper cups to make a cake mold.

Grease the mold with a layer of butter and sprinkle with a thin layer of flour to prevent sticking.

The next step is to make the batter. Crack two eggs into a bowl, add a spoonful of honey and a spoonful of sugar over hot water, stir it into an egg custard liquid and then beat it. There is no machine, so you can only stir it manually.

It took 20 minutes just to beat the egg liquid. Song Shixia did it manually the whole time and she almost got cramps in her hands from exhaustion.

As for how to bake, she pretended to put the pot on the gas stove, but actually took out the oven to heat it up.

Sift the flour into the beaten egg liquid twice, mix well until no dry flour is visible, then add a little oil and mix well. When the batter becomes thick, it is done.

Song Shixia poured the batter into the mold. There were six paper cups in total. If it couldn't hold all the batter, she would pour it into an enamel basin to make a bigger cake.

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and bake in the oven. Place the enamel basin on the steaming rack on the pot and steam it.

She had never tried steaming bread, so she just hoped it wouldn't go bad.

Worried that the aroma from the kitchen would attract the little ones, Song Shixia put the oven back into the space to bake the cake.

It turns out that the steamed cake actually tastes pretty good, a bit like egg cake, soft and sweet.

The freshly baked honey cake has a golden surface and a crispy crust. It is crispy and soft when you take a bite, and has a different taste from steamed cake.

Song Shixia prefers steamed cakes, while children probably like baked cakes.

The aroma wafting from the kitchen attracted the two children playing in the living room, and they both stopped what they were doing at the same time.

"Brother, it smells so good."

Ji Yang did not object, he also liked this fragrant and sweet taste.

Song Shixia came out carrying a plate.

"The cake is ready, come and try it."

Ji Yuan ran very fast and picked up the honey cake first.

He took a big bite.

"It's delicious. Brother will eat it too."

Ji Yang stopped pretending to be shy, he picked up a piece and sat down with his brother to eat.

When he took a bite of the soft and sweet cake, his eyes lit up instantly. This was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten!

The two kids ate two in a row before stopping.

"You can't eat more than that. I'll leave one for each of you. You can eat it tomorrow."

Ji Yuan smacked his lips as he savored the taste. The cake was so delicious. He wished he could eat it every day.
